Jeni Van Beek Q&A with Jeni Van Beek Where did you grow up? I grew up in the Shawano, WI, area on a small hobby farm. Where did you go to school? I graduated from Bonduel High School. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time with my family, grand babies, and fur babies. I also enjoy traveling and learning about the history of the location and buildings that I visit. Why do you work in the nonprofit field? I want to utilize my skills to assist this organization with the volunteer programs that have made a difference in many people’s lives. It’s important to me to give to the community that I live in. What’s something about you that not many people know? When I was born, I was a “hidden” twin. My parents were surprised to be taking two babies home instead of just one. If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Poland, to learn the traditions and culture of my ancestors. Visiting architectural buildings that hold centuries of history would be a remarkable experience.
